Alan,

Thought I would share a childhood memory of the BR Kroger.

I remember the day it opened as my family and a group of neighbors all walked to the store (we lived at 60th and Guilford). I was 7 yrs. old and my sister and other neighborhood children were in baby strollers. Upon entering the store, every woman was given a long-stemmed red rose. I recall the mothers commenting that this new grocery was much nicer than the Standard Grocery right next door.

Sorry to see this store close. It has been a landmark for over 65 years.
